Don’t look at the big Spinfox too long, you might get sick. As it is, I whipped up replacement throbbers for the toolbars, and accompanying userChrome.css mojo so it works with large, small, and text only sizes of buttons. Next up is userChrome.css for the tab throbbers, and then packaging it all in an XPI/Extension, but this is a good start… The individual frames are here. Note, this isn’t just the logo rotated, only the fox spins around of the stationary globe. Whee!

Well, MightyMu was looking at the images here and mentioned how he’d love to see this as a poster, preferrably […]
cool idea, but it does kinda make me nauseous when i look at it. maybe another way would be to keep the fox stationary and make the globe rotate?
ack! can you remove my email from the last post? i thought it would obscure it or something, but it’s just out there in the open…
The Firefox throbber is the first one I’ve ever liked. Just a nice simple graphic indicating page loading, nothing obnoxious.
This is the only frame that has a shadow: http://burntelectrons.org/m…
great!!!

Thanks, Jesse. I must have uploaded the wrong set of frames. I’ll have to fix that tonight.
I agree that maybe having the globe rotating would be better, although it may be too subtle at 16px size…
Heh.. That’s actually really cool, the circle of dots is a bit plain, nice idea.
I use the "simple circles" one with a bit of css because I really need a background for my throbber:
background-color: white !important;
min-height: 0 !important;
width: 40px !important;
margin: 0px !important;
border: 0px !important;
padding: 0px 8px 0px 8px !important;
-moz-opacity: 1 !important;
}
This is presumably suboptimal, but my css is crude and hackish at the best of times.
